An Outlet

So the food and nutrition thing has been reintegrated into my life. I realized that if I try to separate it all out I will feel as thought I am running as different people in different races at the same time.

I am off the wheat. I feel better, I'm losing weight. Beyond that it is boring unless I am shopping. You never so someone so happy to see the letter "g" on a chocolate bar.

The business part of my life is finally swinging back toward balance since we moved into a new house. I now have a studio to itself and an office with a DOOR! I never realized that a physical barrier was so important to the psychology of the barrier. I now don't get sucked in to working when I am "off". I also realized that I am a full fledged "stay-at-work mom". For those of you who don't know what this means, I am working a full time job, from my house, with part time child care. It is hectic to say the least. 3 days a week I shut myself into the office or go out on location to a wedding. The rest of the time I spend stealing moments after the kids' bed time, or when hubby gets home.
I didn't really have much of a choice in the matter. My oldest son, as many of you know has Asperger's Syndrome. He's a genius who can't sit still, or stay on track. The sensory integration issues that go along with it make it difficult for him to be in a classroom, let alone learn in one. When your pediatrician, his teachers, and school administrators are telling you that homeschooling is the best option what else can you do?
